You are obviously talking about a service-provider perspective here,
since you are talking about P and PE.  Not an unreasonable assumption
on this list of course, but I don't see any indication of what kind of
network Event Script is running

Would you advise avoiding bandwidth-based metrics in e.g. datacenter
or campus networks as well?

(I am myself running a mostly DC network, with a little bit of campus
network on the side, and we use bandwidth-based metrics in our OSPF.
But we have standardized on using 3 Tbit/s as our "reference bandwidth",
and Junos doesn't allow us to set that, so we set explicit metrics.)
